    Did you insulate the floor? I didn't see that step of floor construction.
    It's a beautiful location for a cabin. Stone and copper are a gorgeous combo. :) Nice job.

    • @northofthenotch
      @northofthenotch  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks! We loved the stone and copper. No we didn’t insulate the floor, I was on the fence about it. It’s such a small space to have to heat so I didn’t think it was necessary, but it might have been a good idea, I guess we will see haha.

    Just an fyi, your chaps are not going to stop that electric saw if it goes into your leg. chainsaw chaps are designed to clog up the clutch of a gas powered chainsaw, electrics do not have a clutch.
    Also when you're downing a tree, if you're going to run away from the tree, running 10 o clock or 2 o clock are safer options.

    Good job nice cabin. I like the homemade bunk beds, but I am curious about the crank out windows why you put them in upside down cause the crank goes on the bottom. I mean don't get me wrong I don't really see anything structurally wrong with it, I've just never seen nobody do it upside down.. and I'm also curious what did you do to finish your Corners off on your exterior?

    • @northofthenotch
      @northofthenotch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question, I wanted them on top so that I could have a shelf on the bottom. Mechanically they work fine. Also, I didn’t realize that that was upside down until after I installed it haha

    • @northofthenotch
      @northofthenotch  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Equal parts pine tar, turpentine, and boiled linseed oil. I ended up using 3 quarts of each for the siding.

    When using a chainsaw u don't have to do saw motion like it was a handsaw u were using.
    Are u quite a novice in woodland?

    • @jokerswang
      @jokerswang ปีที่แล้ว

      I do it to check for binding, if you're cutting a downed log its good to make a sawing motion to check if the log is pinching so you dont get the saw stuck.
      completely pointless doing it while making your face cuts and back cuts but its a little electric saw so i'd get impatient with it and do the same thing lmao

    I am curious as to why you burned the bottom part of some of the logs. Is that to prevent them from rotting when you put them in the ground?

    • @northofthenotch
      @northofthenotch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it helps with rotting. Partially as a waterproofing agent and also to deter bugs from eating it.

      I didn’t do sheeting, just studs, housewrap and siding, so in this case it went on the outside face of the studs.
